After Inter Milan defeated FC Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate in the semi-final match to secure a position in the UEFA Champions League final, the price of the Inter Milan fan token (INTER) skyrocketed by 20% to $1.24. According to Coingecko data, the coin is still up 2.37% intraday even though its price dropped to $1.15.
Because supporters thought the Nerazzurri would make it to the final for the second time in three seasons, INTER has increased by more than 32% in the last seven days. In the 22–23 European season, Inter suffered a 1-0 loss to Manchester City. City’s 12-year UCL trophy drought came to an end when Rodrigo scored the lone goal under head coach Pep Guardiola.
Price swings increased during the back-and-forth game
When the aggregate score was tied at 3–3, INTER had a sharp intra-hour decline of over 20% at 20:33 UTC during the Tuesday semi-final. However, the token recovered more than 30% in the hour that followed when Inter Milan scored the fourth and final goal in extra time.
This period saw a rise in the token’s market capitalization and trading volume, with the former rising from $9.19 million to $10.76 million between 9:00 PM and 10:15 PM UTC Tuesday and the latter increasing by 80% in the same time frame.
On the other hand, following the Blaugrana’s elimination from the competition, Barcelona’s fan token ($BAR) fell 19.50%. When the score was equal early in the game, the token briefly increased by about 13.50%. However, it fell 20.75% in the following hour when the Catalan team lost to a goal from Davide Frattesi of Inter Milan in the 99th minute.
After its spike, INTER got close to a resistance level that lay between $1.14 and $1.19. In December 2024 and January 2025, this price range had previously been a support zone.
Now that Inter Milan has secured their place in the Champions League final, supporters are focused on how Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal will fare in the second semi-final. Who the Italian team plays in its pursuit of European glory will depend on the outcome.
Forecasting market According to Polymarket, PSG is the strongest candidate to win the UCL championship. According to predictions, the French Ligue 1 winners have a 47.3% chance of taking home the cup, followed by Inter at 38.4% and Arsenal at just 14%.
After a close loss at home, Arsenal is behind 1-0 going into the second leg. Speaking to media during the buildup, manager Mikel Arteta said his team has enough “rage, anger, frustration” to overcome the deficit.
Fans of Arsenal are divided between optimism and realism
Despite their recent performance, Arsenal supporters are confident going into the second leg. Laura Kirk, an Arsenal supporter, told BBC Radio 5 Live that the atmosphere among the supporters is tense.
“I thought we had a chance before the Bournemouth game,” Kirk remarked. “But it’s difficult to think we’ll look like a different team after Saturday’s performance.”
Kirk noted that the Gunners have a weak defense and have recently let up “avoidable” goals at home. Referring to the squad’s victory over Real Madrid, she expressed her hope that the team would surprise football, but she was unsure if they could produce “another unforgettable night.”
During the first 20 minutes of the home leg, they totally outplayed us. Tonight, we’ll need to get started much more quickly. The tie might end if we give up early once more,” she continued.
Thomas Partey, a midfielder, is expected to return, and Arsenal will be counting on him to give them much-needed control against PSG’s trio of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves.
